Kanada Kev Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ok, so i've seen a number of great slide players and listened to lots too. However, listening to this guy this afternoon i'm finding it fascinating.From what I gather so far, in the 1930s the Hawaiin guitar arrived in Calcutta with a famous Hawaiian musician. It took hold and became part of their instrumentation. Played in a laptop style this guy took it to a new level. Here's a couple of vids. Enjoy or not, just sharin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 No probs! I came across it while finding info on the Swell Season presale and a link was on Glenn Hansard's site. After reading some more about Debashish I want to hear some more. I'll be seeking out some recordings as well. Pissed that he was in Toronto last fall for a couple of shows I totally would have gone. On his touring page it lists "9th July, August 7th Canadian Summer festivals Featuring Calcutta Chronicles." Hoping to find a date and time in the Toronto area .....
